Lord Hunter needs a commission

The light blue light spread from the light to the pages of the book, and the book opened automatically under the flipping of invisible hands.On each piece of brown and white paper, the light blue light depicted a series of strange words full of mystery.

"Check today's spell list."

'As ordered: Start checking the list of spells for the day. 'A mechanical voice began to echo along with the flashing light blue text on the pages of the book.

"Cancel Robillard's force field shield and increase Sheldon's arithmetic."

'Observe: Cancel Robillard's force field shield and increase Sheldon's calculus. '

……

After spending about ten minutes roughly changing the spells recorded in the spell book, Beniteto walked out of the warehouse step by step with a staff inlaid with a bright red gemstone in his hand.

"Damn it, the spirit body here really died."

"The bastard's here is the same. I really shouldn't have set up [Lightning Energy Barrier] just to save money."

"And here, here, and here, what the hell, it's clearly calculated by the [Central Weather Forecasting Technique] recently, there will be no accumulation of rain and thunder, why is there inexplicable thunder?"

Stopping and walking, Benitedo checked the loss of the monitoring system he had preset along the way, while cursing the inexplicable weather conditions.

Walking without any precautions, for him, the current warehouse is very safe, with ghouls and three ex-hunters who have been transformed by himself, where is there any danger?

As for the daredevil who broke in just now, Benitedo would not think that a hunter of the school who uses the seal to fight can defeat dozens of ghouls and three cyborgs.

It will be solved in one swarm, so where will there be any luck?

Chapter 21 The Dungeon Boss of Rushing Street

Leaving the only warehouse with power supply, Benitedo walked into a dark factory area.He stopped and walked, stopping from time to time to lean the staff in his hand on the ground to check something, and then cursed.

After using [Light Art] on the staff to light up a ball of light as a light source for lighting, Benitedo continued to walk slowly towards the factory area without any scruples.Whenever he stopped, under the illumination of the light source, there would always be a cloud of off-white dust on the ground, which was the residue left after the death of the spirit body.

Every time he encountered these residues, Benitedo would take out a dim amber, and use magic to pull out the mist that looked like a pale human face from the amber, and use these to write magic symbols on the ground.And these magic symbols, after the writing is completed, will disappear from the ground after flashing a faint green light.

These magic symbols are used to imprison spirit bodies. Those pale human-like mist are actually some low-level spirit bodies. When the two are combined, they will form a phenomenon similar to earthbound spirits.

And it is with this that Benitedo weaves the surveillance of the entire factory.

Simply using spirit bodies to make earth-bound spirits consumes very little time and materials for Benitedo, who is a classical mage, and these earth-bound spirits are enough for him to easily monitor changes in the entire factory.

But these gadgets also have shortcomings. As mentioned earlier, whenever there is thunder, the fragile low-level spirit bodies will die.

So Bennett has to spend more time on 'recovery'.

He hates this kind of trouble~!

In fact, for a classical mage like him, all physical work should be avoided if possible.

Although in fact, it wouldn't waste much of his energy.

After rebuilding more than a dozen ground bindings, Benitedo gradually walked to a production workshop.

Just as he approached, Benitedo smelled the rancid smell flowing in the air, and his face suddenly changed and he frowned.

Naturally, there was a rancid smell that he didn't like, but after smelling it, he suddenly recalled that an intruder broke into the factory.

The intruder was a hunter, an academic hunter who used sigils to fight.

However, Benitedo remembered that after seeing this young little guy in the surveillance, he immediately sent the ghouls under his control and the three ex-hunters controlled by his body transformation to deal with this intrusion. It's right to be an entrant.

But why, have not seen these slaves controlled by him return?

The rancid smell in the air made Benitedo's face even worse.

"Impossible?" He muttered, "The Griffin faction who deserves to be eliminated, a hunter who just uses the sign to fight?" According to his memory, the sign is used at intervals, and the same sign cannot be used in a short period of time. use many times.

Therefore, no matter how well the intruder's seal is used, it is barely enough to deal with dozens of ghouls. As for the three ex-hunters with strange abilities who defeated his slaves, it is impossible.

"What the hell is this?"

With a gloomy face, Beniteto stood hesitantly outside the workshop, looking at the dark house, hesitating.

After the thunder just tore apart the monitoring system of the Earthbound Spirit, Benitedo had no idea what happened.

He didn't know why all the servants he sent were wiped out, he didn't know what the hunter did, and he didn't know what the current situation was.

However, there was a little bit of Benitedo's recollection.

Once the intruder is allowed to leave, it is likely to cause trouble. After all, the many gathered ghouls and the former hunter who has been transformed into a human body will attract more powerful encirclement and suppression.

No matter how bad the law and order in Novigrad is, there will be no factors that allow instability in the suburbs not far from the city.

"That's why I hate these hunters who are nosy and have an eye for money." After chopping up the staff, Beniteto cursed and started to walk into the production workshop.

It's just a hunter, it's no big deal, I've killed several hunters before, and even wiped out three of them cruelly to transform their bodies into tools.

So now, this hunter, who was absolutely exhausted after all the fighting, had absolutely no difficulty in taking him down.

Otherwise, in the face of such an imminent threat, even the garrison would be unable to sit still and choose to dispatch directly.

In this way, not only would he be forced to leave, but the adult who covered him might even be implicated.

"Let me teach you a good lesson, you idiot who broke in." Beniteto angrily chopped off his staff. "What do you mean an uninvited guest is not treated by the owner."

"After taking your soul out of the seal, I have plenty of time to take care of you."

……

It didn't take long for Benitedo to enter the production workshop, and a roar was transmitted in the workshop.

A bang~ an explosion broke the tranquility in the darkness, and an extremely conspicuous green light lit up in the darkness, like a phosphorescent mist, floating in the workshop.

"Ah~ Anti-Magic Explosion..." At this time, a hoarse scream came out, the voice was full of panic, anger, fear and despair, as if seeing some incredible things that shouldn't exist in this world Like scary things.

However, the scream didn't last long, and was interrupted in the middle.Except for the misty green light, the entire production workshop shrouded in darkness fell into silence again.

After a while, there was the sound of rattling footsteps, accompanied by a figure appearing at the exit of the production workshop, and walked out step by step.

"Idiot." The person who came out shook his head and cursed in a low voice: "It's the first time I've seen such a strong-headed classical mage, since he didn't even have the slightest preparation to resist interference, so he walked in so stupidly? Don’t you know there are such things as anti-magic metal bombs in this world?”

Ignoring the bloody mage lying in two parts in the darkness of the workshop, Charlotte carried the jagged long sword dripping with blood and continued to walk towards the source of the negative energy he was sensing.

Originally, Charlotte planned to stay in place to ambush, to see if the mastermind behind the scenes would end himself after killing his subordinates.For this reason, he made special preparations and took out the few bombs on his body.

Considering that the enemy will be more difficult to deal with, a magic trap of the Sign of Arden was set up in a certain corner, ready for a protracted battle.

After all, before those cannon fodder-like ghouls were removed, the three attackers who appeared later were not easy to deal with, and almost capsized himself in the gutter.

So Charlotte can be said to be fully prepared.

It’s just that now, he feels depressed as if he was shooting mosquitoes with an anti-aircraft gun. After preparing so much, he didn’t expect a classical mage to come in at the end. Give up.

Then he went forward and shattered a triggered force field shield on the mage with a sword, knocking him over.

Chapter 22 Thinking Too Much

The times are advancing, especially after the gods of the order and chaos camps have all died out. In a short period of hundreds of years, the progress of human society has crushed the time when the gods existed for tens of thousands of years in the past. Even the age of Netheril, which only existed in the dust of history and legends, was not as brilliant as it is today in many respects.

Although in the current human society, it is impossible to send an entire city into the sky, and it is also impossible to freely swim in the sea of ​​astral worlds.But in comparison, today's human society has far surpassed the Netheril era, which has become a legend, both in terms of population and economic development.

Of course, the most important point is that in the legendary era of Netheril, those rulers had to worry about the threat of orcs, and even fought against these wild creatures time and time again.

However, now, under the high-efficiency war massacre, the so-called "major threat to civilized society" has become history, and the wilderness where these wild beasts lived has also become the location of the federal large-scale grazing and mining industries.

As long as you can't adapt to this era, you will definitely be eliminated by this era.

Not only orcs, but also elves, dwarves, and more intelligent creatures, wild races...

Human beings finally crushed the rest of their competitors with an irresistible posture after the suppression above their heads was gone, and it only took hundreds of years and tens of generations.

Similarly, not only the competition between species, but even professionals who have mastered various extraordinary abilities are forced to make changes before the wheel of the times.

Mages are also one of those forced changes, and even the quickest to do so.

Because of the emergence of anti-magic metals and the birth of various anti-magic items, this originally most powerful and noble profession under the gods is forced to adapt to the current new era as much as possible.

And resistance to interference is the innovation invented by mages who make changes to resist anti-magic metals and various items.

Whether you can master the technology of resisting interference is the best proof to distinguish whether a mage is still an apprentice.

The classical mage who walked in carelessly, only wearing a defensive force field spell on his body, was obviously not prepared to resist interference, and was abolished by Charlotte's anti-magic metal bomb.

A classical mage without the ability to cast spells is basically useless.

Only the remaining triggered defensive force field, in front of Charlotte's blade, is not much different from paper.

"So that's just an apprentice."

Charlotte thought about the actions of the panicked classical mage after his ability to cast spells was abolished by his anti-magic metal bomb, and came to a conclusion. "Since only apprentices are sent out to 'send their lives', it's troublesome..."

The mage is not scary, the frightening thing is that he has made sufficient preparations, has enough information, and is still a mage staying in his lair.

Although it is unlikely that there is a mage tower here, a mage who has been entrenched here for several years and is conducting some kind of evil research knows that there must be all kinds of mysterious and dangerous things.

……

Walking all the way to the source of the perceived negative energy, Charlotte soon saw lights in a warehouse.At this time, the griffin pendant hanging around his neck was also vibrating crazily, telling Charlotte that he was close to the source of negative energy.

Charlotte stopped in her tracks, stared solemnly ahead, and reached out to hold another anti-magic metal bomb from her pocket.While the other hand was holding the long sawtooth sword tightly, the whole person bent down, and walked towards the warehouse slowly from the side with light steps.

With the current known status quo, he had to be careful.

Although it is still unknown who is behind the scenes in this abandoned factory, but from the fact that he was able to manufacture and raise an astonishing number of ghouls in this abandoned factory without anyone knowing, even There are three professionals who obviously possess extraordinary abilities, which are obviously not good characters.

Even if this strength cannot threaten the safety of Novigrad, it can be regarded as a potential hidden danger.

The light-footed cat walked to the corner of the warehouse with his waist down. Charlotte lowered her body and moved a little closer to the open warehouse door along the warehouse wall.

In the sense of letting go, Charlotte didn't perceive the slightest movement in the warehouse, but only the cold feeling unique to negative energy.

Think back to the enemies you met before, and the 'apprentice' who was knocked down by one of his anti-magic metal bombs.Charlotte could imagine how sinister and vicious the people staying here were.

Nine times out of ten, they are the kind of evil people who specialize in necromancy spells and spend all day in the laboratory, conducting ulterior and cruel experiments.

For example, the red-robed mage and the Dragon Worshiper who are wanted by the Federation, the former is a terrorist plotting to overthrow the Federation society, and the latter is a member of a cult organization that rules the world all day long.

'and many more. '

Thinking of this, Charlotte was secretly startled.

With the degree of chaos in Novigrad, it is not difficult to imagine that some people with ulterior motives can easily sneak in.And terrorists like the red-robed mage are best at instigating politicians to cover for them, then develop illegal transactions in secret, and finally indirectly control the politics of a place?

'Could it be that? '

Reminiscent of the 'apprentice' who was sent out in such ignorance just now, and then fell under the anti-magic metal bomb and his own sword, and became a sad cannon fodder. The records of the red-robed mage seen in the book are exactly the same.

Charlotte stopped her sneaking steps, with a slightly hesitant look on her face.

If this is really one of the strongholds of the red-robed mage in Novigrad, then what he will face next is not a 'monster', but a real terrorist.

The guy who can be alive and kicking in the federal wanted is probably not comparable to the prey he hunted before.

And not long ago, he had a fierce battle, and with the sacrifice of that unlucky 'apprentice', it is very likely that he will be watched, and then he will take targeted countermeasures.

In this case, wouldn't it be self-inflicted to go up like this?

'No, not right. '

Charlotte quickly overturned this doubt.

If it was really the red-robed mage, after he was exposed, if he was sure to take him down, he would have done it directly, instead of letting him touch the source of negative energy.

After all, no one is sure whether he will retreat and report a notice to let the garrison come to encircle and suppress.

'Not sure...or, not confident to meet the enemy head-on? '

Charlotte narrowed her pale golden eyes.

'Stay in the warehouse and set a trap?But in this way, isn't it just being blocked inside? '

"If it's really the style of a red-robed mage..."

Thinking of this, Charlotte no longer hesitated, and directly jumped up and rushed to the front door of the warehouse.

Holding the anti-magic metal bomb tightly in his hand, if any suspicious targets are confirmed, Charlotte will definitely throw out this big killer for mages immediately, and then draw his sword to make a surprise attack.

However, after seeing the scene in the warehouse, Charlotte widened her eyes, took a deep breath, and put down the anti-magic metal bomb that was about to be thrown.

Chapter 23 The Conflict That Followed

When the sky was slightly bright, Edmond Dantès was standing outside a carriage, pacing back and forth on the edge of the three-way intersection not far from the abandoned factory.
